Determination of some methylcarbamate insecticides by a.c. polarography and cyclic voltammetry
Abstract:
The study of adsorption-desorption phenomena represents an important extension to the range of organic compounds that can be determined by electrochemical methods. The present work has utilized this approach for the determination of a range of methylcarbamate insecticides. The tensammetric behaviour of this class of compound at the mercury electrode has been investigated by a.c. polarography and the optimum experimental conditions for their analytical determination have been derived. Cyclic voltammetry has also been used to study the electrode process and by using the peak obtained on the cathodic sweep it was possible to extend the limit of detection to the ppm level.
